Making Gradual Changes

When I started my weight loss, I continued to eat the foods I already had at home. I simply changed the portion sizes to reflect what the label indicated. As I finished a food item, I chose a healthier option on my next shopping trip. For example, I swapped white rice for brown rice. I swapped wheat bread with 100% whole grain wheat bread and stopped drinking sodas completely. I’m in the process of eliminating granulated sugar in favor of honey. I’m keeping my chips by going “Baked” and sticking to the serving size. These changes have given me success in shedding the pounds. I’m actually eating more (3 meals/2 snacks) a day plus 8 glasses of water! Small changes can yield big results.
